Having problems with your E-Machines (T2958) PC Desktop ?

Hi, my computer will not boot giving a bootmgr is missing error. i have a hi-grade pc with a recovery partition. Can I fix it using it ??

Answers :

Yes, you can use it, but it will reset your computer to the day it left the factory, which means all documents and installed programs are gone.So - this should be your last option.

If you are running Windows Vista, you can follow this guide. It is very well explained and also has a link for a solution, in case you do not have a Windows Vista repair disk (towards the top of the page).

If the issue persists, you can repair the boot sector manually:\015\012\015\012

Insert the Vista disk into DVD-ROM.

\015\012

Click Start, click Accessories, right-click the command-prompt shortcut, and then click Run as Administrator.

\015\012

Type the following command at a command prompt and press Enter: Drive:\\boot\\Bootsect.exe /NT60 All

In this command, "Drive" is the drive letter where the Windows Vista installation CD is located, usually D:

If you are using Windows XP, follow these steps:\015\012\015\012

Insert your Windows XP Install CD into your CD-ROM drive.

\015\012

Reboot your computer.

\015\012

Boot off of the CD.

\015\012

Let the Setup go through the first part of the Installation procedure.

\015\012

When you get to the screen where it says "Welcome to Setup." press Enter to Setup Windows XP.

\015\012

Press F8 to agree to the End User License.

\015\012

Setup will search your system for previous installed versions of Windows.

\015\012

Once the Setup is finished searching the system, select your Windows XP Installation and press the R key on your keyboard to start the Repair Procedure.

The Setup will delete all major system files and then replace them with new copies. After you've done this, you will have to download all updates from Microsoft Windows Update again because it replaces the files.It will not delete any of your documents and the user data is still intact.

If you have any more questions, just come back here and leave a comment - I'm happy to help.

Hi,No you can't recover a system using another recovery partition from another computer as the internal components maybe different.Have you tried to go into the BIOS and resetting the boot order?If you have not then to get into the BIOS either hit Esc or Del as the computer starts up, enter the BIOS and look for Boot or Boot Options and set the hard drive as the first boot device, hit F10, save the changes and exit.The computer will restart and hopefully boot from the HDD.If you have done all this and the HDD is set to boot first then the operating system is corrupt and you will need to recover the system.
